Streaming Media filters
Streaming Media filters detect and control traffic from Streaming Media applications that deliver audio and video content utilizing IP protocols, typically UDP. Because these streaming media applications demand high bandwidth, the use of these applications can have a large negative impact on network performance. These filters can be used to block the operation of the Instant Messaging application. Many of the IM filters can also be used to rate limit traffic from IM applications. These filters are part of the Performance Protection (see page 311) filter category.
Traffic Normalization filters
Filters that block network traffic when the traffic is considered malicious. These filters allow you to set alerts to trigger when the system recognizes this traffic. Traffic pattern filters alert when network traffic varies from normal. These filters are part of the Infrastructure Protection filter category.
